  • This Text Is a Radio Chat Interview Between Rugby Player Nick Cummins and Radio Presenters Will and Woody on Kiss FM’S ‘Will and Woody Drive Home Show’
    This text is a radio chat interview between rugby player Nick Cummins and radio presenters Will and Woody on Kiss FM’s ‘Will and Woody Drive Home Show’. The interview takes place the night before the 2018 season premiere of The Bachelor, a reality television dating show in which Cummins will star. The spoken interview is highly informal, with Will and Woody asking Cummins questions about the show primarily to entertain the listeners of the show and Cummins’ fans, but also to share some of Cummins’ insider information before the season commences. The context surrounding the Australian interview is made clear through a variety of linguistic features. Firstly, the phrase “in the studio” (1, 10) is repeated, first by Will and then by Woody, which helps to reinforce the idea that Will, Woody and Cummins are all together at the KISS headquarters, giving further context behind the conversation for any new listeners so that they can better understand what’s happening. The question and answer format, seen by the hosts’ questions including “you said no?” (13) and Cummins’ responses in turn such as “yeah..shit yeah” (14) also increase the coherence by adhering to the expectations of the interview, so that the listeners can focus on enjoying the show. The television name “the Honey Badger” (1) and the stressed noun phrase “The Bachelor” (10), both referring to Cummins, emphasise his new role as star of the television show, reminding listeners both of the context to the interview but also showing that it is impressive for KISS to have such an important figure as a guest on their radio show.
